Will New Strategic Positioning Help CannaRoyalty Corp (OTCMKTS:ORHOF) to Climb the Cannabis Ladder?

The run in CannaRoyalty Corp (OTCMKTS:ORHOF) has continued to shine since the stock put in a key pivot low in late December around $3.75/share, with volume growing over the course of the move. The stock has emerged as one of the stronger plays in the space over the past year, rebounding with enthusiasm in this latest bounce, with new all-time highs now within reach. To add further flesh to the story, the company just announced that it has agreed to provide additional strategic financing of $750K to Utopia Cannabis, “an award-winning California-based cannabis brand”.

According to the release, “The funds have been advanced towards the purchase of Utopia-branded manufactured products including cannabis flower, concentrate, edibles and PAX pods. Origin House’s distribution subsidiary, RVR Distribution, has been the distributor for Utopia-branded jarred extracts, and edibles since February 2016. In conjunction with this financing, RVR Distribution will take over the exclusive distribution of Utopia’s premium cannabis flower, which was previously undertaken by a third-party distributor. The Company now has exclusivity on the complete suite of Utopia-branded products on its distribution platform.”
